Recipe Notes
Nutrition Facts and Serving Size – Makes four large 1/4lb burgers. Nutrition label is for burger ingredients only and does not include optional burger buns, toppings and so on.
Cook Time – I’ve given the approximate time in the recipe, but you should know that the exact time will vary based on the model of air fryer you have, and how big your burgers are, and how well you want them cooked.
Cheeseburgers – really easy to make by adding a slice of cheese once the burger is cooked. I found that if the air fryer was still on the force of the fan blew the cheese right off! This may be unique to my model of air fryer though. I found that it worked just fine to add it to the hot cooked burger patty (with the air fryer off) and shut the drawer of the air fryer for a minute or two and that melted the cheese.
Turkey Burgers – Make and cook them in the same way as hamburgers, cook time is the same but you must ensure they are fully cooked.
Frozen Burgers – you can make these burgers ahead of time and freeze them or buy frozen burger from the store and cook them from frozen in your air fryer. The cook time will obviously be longer than if they are thawed and will depend on how thick they are but estimate around 15-20 minutes.
Optional Toppings – You can dress up your hamburger anyway you like, I love to serve it on a gluten free bun with lettuce, red onion and mayo, my kids love burger relish too. And if you are low carb or keto you can omit the bun as the burger recipe has almost no net carbs.
